Stephen is the best.

by elizabethg at Citysearch

Stephen is the best. He's not cheap, but worth every penny. I am very picky about my hair and am not that great at styling it and he seems to know just what to do. Been a client for several years and unless I become unemployed I'll continue.

• Pros: Expertise
• Cons: Parking

Free Buzz Cuts

by jennairene at Citysearch

Being a cancer survivor myself, I decided to make my first appointment at Gary Manuel Salon after reading a review commending the salon for it's "free buzz cuts for chemo patients." Other salons and businesses should take note and follow suit. We need more compassionate business owners. Kudos to Gary Manuel Salon for implementing this wonderful program.

• Pros: Take Note

keratin relaxers

by Sewmama at Citysearch

Katrin is my stylist. On my daughter's recommendation I scheduled an appt with her for a consult, then we procede with the treatment. Fantastic!!!! I've been 3 times since and my hair is getting better and better. The salon is high-end but very friendly, and professional. I used to go every two weeks with a lye-based relaxer on my hair someplace else but I finally figured out it was costing me more to go there than at Gary Manual. Plus I don't get split ends and breakage any more. Love Katrin and the salon.

• Pros: excellent
• Cons: no parking

Amazing Salon with a heart

by clariceAK at Citysearch

The Gary Manuel Salon has begun a program to provide complimentary buzz cuts for women who are about to lose their hair due to chemotherapy. I was the first client under this new program and the wonderful staff turned a potentially traumatic experience into a positive one.

Words cannnot truly express my gratitude to Jean, my hairstylist and her instructor for their compassionate and caring approach. This is an example of a local business giving back to the community in a personal way and I fully intend to come back as paying client in the future.

• Pros: Professional friendly staff

Absolutely the BEST place in Seattle for hair color

by Georgene at Citysearch

I have being going to the salon for over twenty five years. They are the best in doing color,. I don't like my hair to look artifical but I still don't want to see the grey After all these years I think my hair still looks natural but in a very good way. I still have people can't believe my hair color is not my own.

• Pros: No other way but to say THEY ARE THE BEST
• Cons: To bad they can't buy a parking lot for me to use.

great salon

by brobb702 at Citysearch

I had a great experience at Gary Manuel. My hair is very curly, and as a result I often (well...usually) end up with terrible haircuts. Chris Archiopoli at this salon did a GREAT job with my hair. I love it! Very cool-looking and easy to style on my own. I highly recommend going to him, especially if you have curly hair.

• Pros: knowledgeable stylists
• Cons: limited parking

This salon is the best that I've been to, and definitely worth it! Your hair not only come out looking beautiful, but it's a haircut that is maintainable and you can still make your hair look good when you get home.

• Pros: Great Hair, Awesome Product, and Kami
• Cons: Street Parking

Great Place for Ethnic Hair Care

by habla at Citysearch

I've seen Nyesha for 5 months. My daughter even longer. We have coarse curly ethnic hair and Nyesha is the best! She can relax, cut, curl, color, highlight condition whatever you need. I see Nyesha twice a month. The salon is just that affordable but the level of professionalism warrants much more. I have seen Nyesha do all types of hair and all types of styles. My hair is shiny and yes manageable. It looks great. And, the natural products she uses will grow shiny new healthy hair for you in no time at all! See Nyesha You wont regret it!

• Pros: Nyesha
• Cons: None in 5 months

Opal knows how to do hair!

by BeckyF at Citysearch

I have been going to Opal since she started her training at the Gary Manuel Institue four years ago. From day one, I have never gotten a bad hair cut or a weird color. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER! My curly hair has never looked this good, Bad hair days are a thing of the past. I have to drive 2-1/2 hours one way to see Opal, but it's more than worth it. Excellent service and product.

• Pros: quick, professional, intuitive

Best salon in town!

by twirl at Citysearch

The difference between a real pro and mediocure talent is how your hair looks after you get home and wash it and let it dry naturally. The stylists at Gary Manuel consistently cut hair that looks great and the products they use for coloring are of top quality. My hair feels soft and managable even after highlights. I've been going to Gary Manuel for over 15 years and think they are worth every penny they charge!

• Pros: Never had a bad cut!
• Cons: Sometimes parking is tough to find.

Did you happen to see the most beautiful girl?

by ElizF at Citysearch

After spending the last 5 years with long hair that was only trimmed by students at the Gary Manuel training salon (a great bargain, if you have 3 hours for a trim!), I decided to see Stephen Pace at the main salon.

He listened to me and knew exactly what to do. I was treated like a princess and as my hair was being blown dry, I was singing that cheesy beautiful girl song!

My hair looks perfect, the color is naturally brilliant, and compliments abound.

Do yourself a favor, treat yourself to a hair cut, color, and style by a real pro. You won't regret it!

• Pros: Stephen Pace is amazing!
